Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m glad you are here! I have been a licensed social worker since 2013 with a strong background in medical social work including but not limited to mental health. I am currently a clinical licensed social worker here in the great state of Oregon. I have a lot of life experience that I hope brings a level of empathy not found in textbooks. I use a very conversational approach to therapy, listen deeply and try to weave in concepts, perspective, insight, questions that activate, and offer practical tools to help clients (you) reach their (your) goals. My service areas include helping those who may be struggling with addictions, coping with grief and loss, adjusting to life transitions, family/relationship issues, as well as depression, anxiety, and mood and personality disorders. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have an unconditional positive regard for all. It is my goal to provide a safe environment for you to discuss your concerns and experiences. Taking the first step of signing up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Sarah is a real person that isn't sterile feeling. She's bright and sunny, and she always has good suggestions. I talk about her regularly to friends and family. She's helping me a lot, and my problems are not small currently. Lol. She's just really good at what she does!

First two minutes I was speaking to Sarah I could feel that she was different. I had an instinctual connection to her that I couldn’t explain. She’s incredibly understanding and can break down my own traumas in a way that isn’t distressing. I would recommend her to anyone who has ever faced childhood trauma.

I have only been working with Sarah 3 weeks but already our conversations are making a positive impact on my life. Sarah is very detailed and dedicated, and one of the best therapists I’ve worked with on this app (tried 4 at different points). It’s clear Sarah cares and really wants to make a difference.

She’s been absolutely wonderful. Not pushing me but encouraging me to talk. So helpful and caring. She’s definitely in the right field.

Sarah is wonderful! Empathetic, understanding and kind. She really conveys that she cares how you’re feeling and doing overall and works to help your current self and your future self.
Written on Sep 13, 2023 after therapy with Sarah for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and parenting issues
Sarah is kind, compassionate, attentive and patient. She is able to hear the secret messages intertwined in my words and ask questions to support bringing these to the surface of my awareness. She's able to navigate us through hard truths and deep wounding with grace and subtlety, but she can be direct when necessary to instill a particular point. She's the right measure of caring and supportive, knowledgeable and intuitive. Her charm and demeanor soften the most difficult conversations. Our sessions always leave me thinking, feeling and seeking more and shes excellent about matching thay energy with supportive assignments, exercises and chev-ins between sessions. If you are seeking a therapist who exhibits the humanity, authenticity and spirit you would find in a cherished friend with the wisdom, experience and knowledge you expect from a medical professional, Sarah is perfect. I've worked with many therapists over the course of mine and my children's lives and she is the best of the best. Highly recommend.

Sarah has been a very kind and understanding person who has helped me find the root of a lot of my anxieties. Her insights have helped me make it through some very difficult times, and I plan to be her client for the foreseeable future.
Prior to her I hadn't had a positive therapy experience. Once she began to help me I realized that finding the right therapist is a super important step in the process. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah is awesome! She makes you feel comfortable and able to speak candidly. She gives honest feedback but in a very thoughtful and considerate way. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing some assistance.

Sarah has been a huge help to me. She is able to make me comfortable in any problem solving approach that we make towards self improvement together. She has been able to provide me with a variety of techniques to improve my mental health in ways that fit my lifestyle. I'd highly recommend!

Sarah has been an amazing therapist. She listens well and always takes the time to process our sessions and send me helpful work sheets. I have had to msg her for a moment when I was having a bit of an anxiety attack and she responded quickly with helpful information for me to step away from my thoughts and to look at the situation at hand from a different perspective. Sarah has been above and beyond helpful and I would definitely recommend her to friends, family, and colleagues.

Sarah is a truly amazing therapist, I’ve never felt so seen or heard, and I love that every time I walk away from a session with a valuable lesson. She has great insight on the world and strives to tailor each session to my needs, so I’m constantly being challenged and growing into this new beautiful person.
